-
Entrepreneurship Development
These subjects cover field measurement, survey drawings, computer-aided drafting, control-point work, cadastral surveying, land administration, engineering surveys, basic geographical information system operations, and topographical surveying.
Practical learning and OJT
Practical work is a major part of the AMIN course. Students work with surveying procedures, drawing and CAD operations, GIS tasks, field techniques, and applied survey activities during the institutional training period.
The final part of the course includes three months of On the Job Training (OJT), equivalent to 12 weeks, 72 working days, or 480 hours. OJT takes place after students have attended the final examination and is arranged through the institute. It gives trainees workplace-based exposure related to the skills studied during the course.
Examination and assessment
Theory and practical subjects use both internal assessment and final examination. The program has three internal assessments and one final examination in each subject.
Theory pass mark: 40%
Practical pass mark: 60%
OJT pass mark: 60%
Students must pass each internal assessment before appearing in the final examination. OJT is evaluated separately and carries 300 full marks.
Certificate and occupational direction
Students who successfully complete the program requirements receive the Technical School Leaving Certificate in Survey Engineering from CTEVT.
The occupational direction of the course is closely connected with survey work. Graduates may pursue roles such as Amin or Assistant Surveyor in government-related organizations and private companies, subject to the recruitment requirements applying to the position.
At Central Engineering College, students study within a technical education setting that includes laboratory, classroom, and library facilities. The college also includes field visits, excursions, workshops, and other academic activities within its broader teaching environment.
